The Dallas Stars are considering moving Steve Ott and the Flyers are one of the team’s interested in Ott according to ESPN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun. The 29 year old 6’0’’ 192 lbs. forward turns 30 in August. He has registered 10 goals and 18 assists for 28 points in 55 games this season for the Stars. Some people know Ott for his hockey abilities but people in the Philadelphia might remember Ott for his trash talking to Claude Giroux before a faceoff and his interaction with Flyers coach Peter Laviolette during HBO’s 24/7 Flyers-Rangers Road to the Winter Classic.

Pierre LeBrun thinks the Flyers are interested but he knows that JVR carries a high price tag. Dallas would need to offer more than Ott to bring JVR to Dallas.

“Steve Ott of the Dallas Stars has lots of teams interested in him, too. It’s certainly not a given that Dallas will move him considering where they sit in the Western Conference standings -- in eighth place Friday morning. But they’re listening. Vancouver likes Ott a lot, and Toronto and Philadelphia also likes him. It just so happens that the Stars also like Flyers winger James van Riemsdyk, but it’s going to take a lot more than Ott to pry him out of Philly.”

More rumors involving James van Riemsdyk. This probably won’t be the last we hear about a trade involving JVR before Monday’s deadline.
